Monitors don't stop patients from waking

Have a happy, malpractice known as bariatric surgery.

"Patients say it feels like being trapped in a corpse: They wake up during surgery, unable to move or scream. Some remember hearing their surgeons talk, and a few recall feeling intense pain.

Some experts have said special brain-wave monitors were the best way to prevent anesthesia awareness. Now, in a big setback for efforts to prevent it, the first large, independent test of the monitors shows they are no better than older technology."

Sleep well. That is, if you sleep at all for your needless procedure.
